Make own Echo

[Petr]

Hello. I wrote a function that you just push a music file, set the echo length and volume (in the range from 0 to 1) and the program will generate a new sound straight away. I used _SndNew for this.

Code: (Select All)

Snd& = _SndOpen("SongEight.mod")

For Echo = 1 To 3
    Print "Creating Echo level: "; Echo
    _Delay .1
    news& = MakeEcho&(Snd&, Echo / 10, .85)
    _Delay .1
    _SndClose Snd&
    Snd& = _SndCopy(news&)
Next
_SndPlay news&

Print "Program create new sound handle ("; news&; " )"

Print " This new handle is not full compatible:"
Print "_SndLen return: "; _SndLen(news&)
Sleep 2
Print "_SndGetPos return: "; _SndGetPos(news&)
Sleep 4
Print "Trying use _SndSetPos to begin this track..."
_SndSetPos news&, 0

Hi Petr,

Do you think this might work with the Text To Speech thing Windows has?

That might be fun!

[SMcNeill]

Hi Petr,

Do you think this might work with the Text To Speech thing Windows has?

That might be fun!

The Powershell Text to Speech stuff that I did will let you export to a sound file, so I'm certain you could get it working like that, though it might have some load/save/conversion time adding to the overall lag with it.

[mnrvovrfc]

Do you think this might work with the Text To Speech thing Windows has?

If you're clever enough you could create a QB64PE program that runs the text-to-speech thing (erm, as Steve just said), exports to wave, loads the wave and then uses the code employed in this topic.

Just change the first line of this code to the file that was exported from the text-to-speech thing. The only barrier is being able to use "SHELL" to call Powershell.

[Petr]

I haven't found a way (only in the paid PowerShell branch) to get the WAV file. The normal redirect character > or >> in the text to speech program for including streams will create an just empty file. Help with this is high appreciated.
